Summary Explanation/Background
Florida Senate Bill 628 (2026), approved by Governor Ron DeSantis on April 14, 2026, designates that portion of S.R. 5/U.S. 1 between N.E. 38th Street and E. Commercial Boulevard as the “Phil Smith Memorial Highway,” that portion of S.R. 842/East Las Olas Boulevard between South Andrews Avenue and S.E. 6th Avenue as the “Terry Stiles Memorial Boulevard,” and that portion of S.R. A1A between the north end of the Hillsboro Inlet and the next mile marker north of 991 Hillsboro Mile as the “Rick Case Memorial Highway” (each a “Designated Segment” and collectively the “Designated Segments”).
Each Designated Segment is located within a single city, and all Designated Segments are located within Broward County.
Section 334.071(3), Florida Statutes, provides that the erection of markers shall be contingent on the appropriate city or county commission passing a resolution in support of the particular honorary designation. If this item is approved, the Florida Department of Transportation will be responsible for the placement and maintenance of the honorary designation markers.
This Resolution, if adopted, would formally support the honorary designations as stated above.
